Bengaluru Restaurant Serves Idli On An Ice-Cream Stick With Chutney, Sambar As Dips; Twitter Has Opinions

I’m convinced that food is the most talked about thing on Twitter. You know apart from the polarized hate spewed by the boycott brigade. And when it is combined with innovation, there is no stopping it. Especially when it is carefully slotted in the experiment category; we all know how food Twitter loves to hate on the new entrants in the #FoodTrends and hey, can you blame them? That’s right; fellow purist this side, nice to e-meet you. Having said that, there’s another new development at hand and I have to admit that it’s fascinating. After all the butter chicken golgappe and Maggi milkshake, this time there is a rather bright idea amongst the fold.

And mind you, it is more heated than the discussion on kulhad pizza. Why? A Bengaluru eatery served idlis on ice-cream sticks with chutney and sambar served as dips. Some called it peak Bengaluru, the hub of innovation with all its creative glory, and others, are left aghast with the treatment to their fav dose! Needless to say, the internet is divided including Anand Mahindra, Shashi Tharoor and the rest of the internet. See for yourself.

Innovative food technology of how the Idli got attached to the Ice cream stick.

People from other side are trying to save the trees and finding alternatives, here these guys are wasting those sticks unnecessarily in the name of creativity!

First of all, Bangalore sambhar is not sambhar (prepared to die on this hill). Second of all, tech bros need to get out of the food business.

Leave. My. Idlis. Alone. https://t.co/GZvU6ZZ6F7

Kudos for the innovation.. but I don’t want the aftertaste of a wooden stick in my mouth 🤮 Especially when it gets soaked with sambhar.. I like my Idli the traditional way 😉 🍲 https://t.co/KbzyYVHKZR

Wow , never thought of this . Now it looks like coconut ice cream and idli ice cream have become common.

Idli on a stick, with sambhar and chutney. Might cause riots in south India, but it’s a good idea – kids don’t wash hands before eating these days. pic.twitter.com/FzGiXPxAOH

As a north indian I take offense to idli being eaten like an ice-cream rolled around a wooden stick.

Bengaluru’s Smart Move On Idli’s. Now Ice Cream Lovers Will Be Amazed of this idea. Really Proud. Only if I could know how they made it😂. Anyways,Love the Idea. Waiting for Your Upcoming Ideas. #IdliForLife pic.twitter.com/zV7ieSbbvB

So, would you try it for yourself? Would you fancy some idli on sticks? Cause it will be doing it at your own risk.
